Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...
Sony's banking on Spider Man 3. Literally. Some insiders claim the flick cost $300 million to produce. No doubt, however, it'll make it back. And then some.
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission will honor Nepal's Blue Diamond Society for all their hard activist work. Unfortunately, they will not be honored with actual blue diamonds.
We've never quite understood Kate Moss and Pete Doherty's relationship. Now we do. And they're kind of cute. Still total nutters, but cute...
The fuzz may have been investigating theft at Atlanta's airport, but they found a bunch of horny gay men, instead. Now they're looking for more.
Regional lawyers have ruled that Latvia's City Council acted unjustly in barring last year's gay pride parade. Hoorah!
Maryland's House has passed a bill requiring health insurance companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and children. The bill now needs to be signed by the governor to become a law. (We totally just had a School House Rock flashback.)
GLAAD's celebrating the tenth anniversary of Ellen Degeneres' coming out with a month full of flag-waving faggotry.
Sri Lanka may forbid homosexuality, but that's not stopping gay activists from planning a pride event. Trouble is, they don't have any money. Do you?
In an effort to make a more single friendly album, Madonna has joined forces with Justin Timberlake and uber-producer Timbaland. If they can't help her sales, no one can...
The House Judiciary Committee isn't fucking around with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. They've just issued a subpoena for more documents regarding the allegedly illegal firing of federal prosecutors. Nail him to the wall, kids!
New York has agreed to extend benefits to employee's same-sex partners. About fucking time, no?
Mario Vasquez still claims he's not gay. But, of course, the interview took place before that whole sexual harassment lawsuit, so who knows...
Don Imus may have called them "nappy-headed hos", but the Rutgers Women's basketball team has agreed to have a little sit-down. We hope they give it to him good.
Robbie Williams may have ditched Take That! to embrace his bad boy image, but some are saying the recently rehabbed singer's mulling a musical reunion. Um, is that supposed to be a career booster or a death rattle?
21-year old Akino George has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the beating of gay singer, Kevin Aviance. Like his violent cohorts, George copped a plea. Smart fucker...

In the next few weeks we’re going to ask you to say hello to our new interns. First up is Lance. Lance lives in Seattle and brings another West Coast perspective to the site. He’ll be writing, reporting, and searching for stories. Since he is 3,000 miles away from Queerty headquarters he’ll sadly miss traditional intern responsibilities like getting us coffee or cleaning the windows. Rather than listen to us, we’ll let Lance describe himself:
“My name is Lance. I work for a corporation; one of those huge nationwide corporations where you have an employee id number and use words like "metrics" and "collaborate" at least five times daily. I'm also a really gay black man. I'm 23 years old and entering my last quarter at the University of Washington where I'm completing my degree in Sociology. Working for the corporation sort of just happened to me—a means to and end to support my gay lifestyle while getting my degree. Who else is going to pay for my Prada man bag? Yet, it's been a really great experience in the big scheme of things and has fueled my passion for writing. Having lived in Mississippi , southern Germany, and now in Seattle with my gay black self, I've cultivated somewhat of a unique perspective and have a couple things on my mind for sharing. I love my gays and I'm passionate about issues that affect us. And I do mean all issues; from ensuring that none of us have unibrows to ensuring that we have equal rights. They're both equally important, right? Plus, I'm a pop culture fanatic. Reading blogs is my religion. Ultimately, I'd like a writing career that could combine the two: my love for those things sociological in scope coupled with my desire to read every article in the world having to do with Jake Gyllenhaal and his new ‘it’ dog.”
If you’re a Seattle-based musical act, shop, theater, promoter, whatever, then Lance is your man. His email is lance@queerty.com
Say hello, send him ideas, and welcome him aboard.
